AFFILIATE MEMBER BENEFITS

Strengthen your Association - Strengthen your Members

Your state/regional association can benefit by becoming an affiliate member of the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers (AASP). Our philosophy is simple: Strengthen state/regional organizations so that they, in turn, can further the sustainability and growth of their members.

AASP offers state/regional associations an alternative national affiliation.

Our affiliate members make up our dynamic board of directors and help drive the organization. You will have a voice on legislation, regulations and industry issues at the national level. You will have access to national-account member benefit programs. You will have the opportunity to learn and network with some of the most progressive state/regional association professionals in the industry!

Affiliate membership in AASP is an affordable, convenient way to provide additional benefits to your members. Any organization representing mechanical and collision repair shops is eligible. A simple application process is all that’s required to get the ball rolling.

StormLogix has made the process of developing your new custom website a breeze. Updates to content and photos can be made at anytime including free access to our easy-to-use online web-administration for your website.
